The leading cadres of CPC members are the backbone of the construction of building the Party and the state.They are entrusted by the people to exercise public power,lead and organize the people to manage national affairs and economic and cultural undertakings,and naturally become the subject of the highest level of virtue.The ancients said,a country without virtue does not prosper,officials without virtue do not act,and people without virtue does not stand.Political morality is an important political discourse and ethical norm in the construction of Marxist political parties in the new era.Political morality embodies the ideological consciousness,value consciousness and action consciousness of the Chinese Communists in following political ethics.Since the 18 th National Congress of the Communist Party of China,Xi Jinping has attached great importance to the construction of political ethics of the leading cadres of CPC members,stressing the importance of upholding,observing and abiding by political ethics,and abiding by political,public and private ethics in all aspects of politics,work and life.However,some cadres of party members have shown political moral anomy in terms of exercising power for the government,practicing of the purpose,self-cultivation,and have gone beyond the political bottom line,psychological defense line and behavioral boundaries,and have brought serious harm to the future of the country,the image of the party,the happiness of the people.In the new era,to strengthen the construction of political ethics and constantly improve the moral realm of the leading cadres of party members is to narrow the gap between the requirements of political ethics and the actual political ethics,which is of great significance for promoting social moral progress,effectively governing corruption and idle government,consolidating the ruling status of the Party,and promoting the good governance of the country.The political morality of the leading cadres of party members is a structural concept from various ethical perspectives.As a specific form of morality and social consciousness,it is essentially a combination of power morality,professional morality and role morality.From the external performance,the political morality of the leading cadres of party members has significant characteristic such as political,organizational,universal,advanced,and exemplary.From the inner structure,the political morality is made up of political morality cognition,emotion,will and behavior.In general,the political morality plays the functions of cognition and education,standard and regulation,guidance and encouragement.The political moral construction of the leading cadres of party members in the new era has profound ideological origin and rich historical experience.The political moral ideology of Marxist classical writers,the innovative theories of political ethics of the Chinese Communists in all dynasties,the wisdom of political ethics in the excellent traditional Chinese culture,and the beneficial ethical thoughts in the western political culture constitute a treasure trove of the theoretical resources.The exploration and lessons of political ethics construction in other socialist countries in the international communist movement,the continuation and expansion of political ethics construction by Chinese Communists in the past dynasties,the experience summary of political ethics construction in different dynasties in ancient China,and the practical reference of political ethics construction in western and East Asian countries constitute a rich bonanza of historical experience.A comprehensive and profound understanding of the current situation of the political morality of the leading cadres of party members is the prerequisite for further promoting the political ethics construction in the new era.Since the 18 th National congress,the Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core has adhered to the strategic policy of the party to manage the party and to govern the party strictly,and has taken a series of major measures in the construction of political morality,mainly in the aspects of subjective governance of thought,culture and education,objective management of system,discipline and supervision,external governance of party’s style,political style,social style,folk style,family style.Great achievements have been made in political moral construction.On the whole,the political moral status of the leading cadres of party members is positive,but there are still some political moral anomies in some periods and places.Some leading cadres of party members are captured by power and interests,and their political morality is not clear and their political behavior is not correct,which are reflected in many aspects such as anomie of political quality,power morality,professional ethics and personal ethics.The political ethics anomies of the leading cadres of party members are not only caused by ideological and cultural causes,but also by institutional mechanisms,economic and social factors,laws and regulations,etc.At the same time,these reasons themselves are also the shortcomings and constraints of promoting political ethics construction in the new era.The political ethics construction of the leading cadres of party members in the new era should be guided by Marxism and its Sinicization theory,especially Xi Jinping’s important discourse on political ethics construction should be deeply understood.By perfecting the theory of political morality construction,clarifying the norms of political morality behavior and exploring the methods of political morality construction,we can reach the goal of building a team of people’s public servants with noble political morality.On the basis of adhering to the principles of combining systematic and structure,long-term nature and stage nature,inheritance and development,theory and practice,self-discipline and heteronomy,politics is the commander,and political morality is clear;people are the center,and public morality is observed;self-discipline is the criterion,and private morality is strict.The political ethics construction of the leading cadres of party members in the new era should be combined with the problem of political ethics anomie,in order to improve the pertinence of policies and highlight the due practical value.Generally speaking,external regulation and internal forging are the basic direction of political morality construction.Therefore,it is necessary to adopt a variety of concrete methods to cultivate political morality,effectively use the carrier of political morality construction and purify the environment of political morality construction,and explore the long-term mechanism of political morality construction.From a specific perspective,we can use a variety of specific methods such as theoretical study,practical cultivation,typical demonstration,self-revolution,effectively use and constantly innovate material,cultural,institutional and behavioral carrier forms,and vigorously purify the political ecology,social environment,cyberspace and family style.At the same time,the construction of political ethics should be normalized,institutionalized and continuous from the dimension of mechanism construction,which can be built from the aspects of political morality education mechanism,political morality restriction mechanism,political morality legal protection,political morality supervision mechanism and political morality evaluation mechanism.In general,regarding the political ethics construction of the leading cadres of party members,this paper constructs the overall research approach along the basic logic of "what-why-how",and discusses deeply from the perspectives and ideas of connecting theory with practice,internal cause with external cause,macro with micro,and history with reality.Based on the guidance of Marxism and its Sinicization theory,the author analyzes the basic theories of political morality construction,such as its concept,characteristics,structure and function,and further expounds the necessity and urgency of political ethics construction in the current problem of political ethics anomie of the leading cadres of party members.Then,on the basis of ideological and theoretical tracing,drawing on historical experience and taking care of reality situation,the author discusses the guiding ideology,target orientation,main content,specific methods,support carriers,environmental requirements and long-term mechanism of political moral construction in the new era,and responds to the theoretical doubts and practical demands of political moral construction. |
